Israel responded to rocket fire from southern Lebanon as a fragile four-month truce with Hezbollah showed new signs of strain, even as the Iran-backed group denied involvement.
The Israel Defense Forces said it was striking Hezbollah positions, including a command site and rocket launchers, on Saturday after Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the military to attack “dozens of terror targets.” Lebanese local media, citing civil defense personnel, reported four dead, including a child, and at least 12 injured in the town of Toulin.
